The NDX closed up 1.7% to close at NDX 2,550 but had reached an intraday high of NDX 2,674 4.6% higher. Moreover, the SPX was up 1.5% at its best levels of the day (SPX 1,335) only to give it all up and finish at the bell unchanged at SPX 1,315. 1) Now look at the switch in rydex spx short Ursa fund decrease 40+ million in a day that gave up all gains. Sentiment-wise, this is not comforting for the Bulls as money wants to get long on the hope of any impending rally on santa's sleigh ride. But fear is running equally high with election circus and now going into negative pre-announcement period. 2) Money Market levels still high and this is Bullish. 3) XAU in clear uptrend and on any pullback from clear double overbought levels money will be moving into this Bullish rally - including mine. Total assets above 40 million for the first time since september 27th. Bullish - but look for a 1-2 day pullback. I moved to 100% Money Market in light of the failed rally. I will be watching BKX like a hawk. I have posted BKX 815 must hold in this past week and on Friday we closed at BKX 816.86 after hitting an intraday high of BKX 836+ level both on Thursday and Friday. The market is clearly at the cross-roads SPX-wise. While the NASDAQ has clearly been decimated in the past 7-8 months 50% off the highs - the SPX has not had that meltdown. The DOW is at the low end of its support zone and inching towards DOW 10,000 again. SPX and DOW must rally right here and now in the next 2 days for the Bulls to save any face going into the end of the year. Best Regards, J.T.
